Chapter 357: Wherever I want you to be, there you must be!
Compared to the weird and unpredictable lineups.
In the match between EDG and SSG, there is a feeling of a heavy sword without a blade and great skill without refinement.
In human terms...
Just charge and it’s over!
Gain early advantage.
Fight for mid-term team battle.
Whoever has the upper hand will rush forward and force his way through.
No other mess.
If this kind of play was put forward before the quarterfinals, everyone would think that SSG and EDG's confrontation was a suicidal move.
But in the quarterfinals, SSG defeated WE, another strong team in the LPL region, in mid-term team battles more than once, reversing the outside world's impression that SSG "can only operate but not fight in a team."
This made the suspense of this game much higher.
In the first game of BO5, the focus is generally on testing and finding out the bottom line.
Both sides are setting up defensive positions.
There was no particular rush to attack.
After all, the control ability is not sufficient, and it is difficult to hit anything.
It is not worthwhile to do something that has little meaning but will have significant negative effects.
At this time.
Everything from the director’s perspective.
It was discovered that Shen did not stand guard at the edge of the river, but instead moved slowly to the top of Summoner's Rift and hid in the grass near the red team's half.
It was obviously an ambush.
"General's position gives him a chance to take the initiative."
Wawa looked at the summoner skills and said, "Most players who play Shen will use Flash and Teleport, but General always uses Teleport and Ignite."
"The kill line is relatively high, and the offensiveness is relatively strong."
“But the risks also increase.”
"Especially against a team like SSG."
"It's like this. From the group stage till now, CuVee's KDA is 2.3/1.6/5.0. Even though they lost the game, they didn't die that often." Miller showed the data. "And it's worth noting that in one game, CuVee was targeted and lost 0-6."
"If you take this game out of the equation, CuVee's average number of deaths per game is actually about the same as General's."
“He is a very stable player.”
While talking.
CuVee using Gnar follows the minion line to the top lane.
Suddenly, without any warning, a red number -63 popped up above my head.
Because the director closed the EDG team's field of vision, no light effects were seen in the remaining SSG field of vision.
There is no possibility of coping.
Next second.
Shen walked out from the grass and launched a normal attack at Gnar who was slowed down by [Tactical Sweep].
Swoosh——
The leg knife swung.
Passive [Adaptive Defense] shield is triggered.
Shen continued to chase forward, carrying the minions and hitting Gnar again.
During the process, Gnar also launched a counterattack, but it was offset by the physical shield on Shen.
Only the last boomerang and the ranged minion's counterattack dealt damage.
A round of exchanges.
Shen lost nearly a hundred health points.
Nar's loss was neither too much nor too little, just two hundred.
Let's stick to the facts.
Xing Dao's sneak attack did not give him much advantage.
Because Gnar doesn't necessarily have to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Just a hundred health points, you can get it back in just two hits.
But in line with what Miller just said: very stable.
Very comedic effect.
In addition, as they were at home, the audience support was very high, and this small lead caused cheers from the audience.
To this.
SSG top laner CuVee didn't care.
But use the opponent's trick against him.
Following Xing Dao's behavior, we moved back to control the line.
Because Gnar and Shen are in the relationship of ranged and aggressive.
If the minion line is outside the tower, wait until level 2-3, Shen can use his leading status to unscrupulously use the E skill to rush at Gnar's face.
Gnar will be very upset.
If you get kicked, you definitely won’t be able to fight back.
If you jump away and counterattack, you will definitely be hit by Qingying's W in the outer circle, and you still won't gain anything.
It would be even more embarrassing if the factory manager did something to me.
The best way to deal with it is to retreat back to the tower and develop slowly.
Wait for Master An to come up and find the rhythm.
"CuVee's play style... can't be said to be wrong."
"But he underestimated the General."
In the SKT team training room.
Marin, who once dominated the world in the S5 finals and ascended to the throne of the world's number one top laner with his undisputed performance, shook his head.
He added: "When fighting against General, you must seize the initiative."
"If you take one step back, he'll take two steps forward. If you take two steps back, he'll take four steps forward . He will never give you room to develop safely."
"It's true." Faker pushed his glasses.
On the screen.
Shen hid in the bushes and did not pull back.
Instead, stand on the edge and wait.
CuVee never expected Xing Dao to be so brave. When he raised his hand to attack the soldier, he was surrounded from behind and took another normal attack.
This time, the extra damage and health recovery of Shen's 'Grasp of the Undying' was also triggered.
Pull back and forth a few times.
Xing Dao dodged Nar's boomerang.
He used W [Tactical Sweep] to hit Nal once more from the outer circle, walked up, and launched a second normal attack with immortality attached.
Just a dozen seconds.
Gnar's health dropped below 200 points...
"oops!"
Wawa was obviously enjoying the show: "Only two soldiers died in the first wave, and CuVee was crippled by the General!"
"To be honest, I don't quite understand this blood exchange." Miller didn't expect it at all: "General is a short-handed hero, why can he always stick to Gnar?"
Miller doesn't say that.
Many viewers haven't realized it yet.
After saying that, the audience realized that this kind of situation shouldn’t happen when fighting between Shen and Gnar!
You know, Shen learns W at level 1.
No breakthrough.
How can I touch Gnar again and again just by walking step by step with my own two legs? !
"Brother Jie's line is too strong."
"There's at least two levels of difference in the road."
"It's okay to have long legs hitting long arms (dog head)."
"It may seem very difficult to an outsider, but as an insider, I can tell you that this difficulty is higher than heaven... from the Black Rose Extraordinary Master."
"Another Korean top laner is going to buy the Mask of Pain."
“…”
Barrages of comments started to appear one after another.
"CuVee couldn't bear it anymore and put a ward in the bush."
Wawa looked at the behavior and said: "If this ward was placed earlier, it could at least help CuVee save 200 to 300 HP. It's really a bit late to place it now."
"It's better to mend the fold after the sheep have been stolen." Miller's first sentence sounded like a normal person, but the second sentence was obviously from a black man: "Anyway, CuVee is in his current state, so keeping the wards has no other purpose."
The second wave of soldiers pressed forward.
Xing Dao killed a melee soldier, and the number in front of the health bar changed from 1 to 2.
Immediately use the Ctrl+E key combination to learn the skill in seconds, then press the E key again.
A steel cable flew out from Qing Gangying's waist.
Hook in the wall.
Flying towards Nar.
CuVee was forced to retreat to the protection of the defensive tower and used Q [Throw Boomerang] to hit Shen, but was also hit by the outer circle of W [Tactical Sweep].
Gnar's Q only does damage.
Shen's outer circle W not only deals damage, but also restores health.
Such an exchange.
For Xing Dao, the more the better.
The key is...
Normally, if Shen continues to suppress like this, the line of troops should be pushed forward.
Give Gnar some time to develop steadily and lick his wounds slowly.
But in this game, the troops seemed to be fixed by some mysterious force. Even when the third wave of artillery vehicles pressed forward, their positions did not change at all...
